He's in timeout at home any time he acts up. I meant it's not a problem at the house to discipline him. If we see him acting up we can take him out the room and calm him down, or put him in time out if necessary
Perhaps skip the intermediate step and go straight to time out every time he acts out of line.
I'm 100% behind corporal punishment, and my children get a spanking as necessary, but I find timeout is much more effective than a spanking the few times they've hit one another. That may not work for all children though.

Damn man, you are so caught up in trying to be that guy that judges everything without context that you can't follow a simple thread.
You must have had terrible parents.

I'm not against spanking. Just still wondering if he's too young for it to be effective. Especially when hitting is the issue. Don't want to try to solve hitting with hitting. Pretty sure that would just be confusing to him.

My 2.5 year old is an a-hole about half the time these days, but never at daycare. I wish he'd flip it.
At times I watch my kids as if they're a social experiment. The unbridled selfishness that they display here and there is truly something to behold.

This was my exact concern with ours. He would hit my leg (or face if I was holding him) when we wouldn't let him do something or took something from him. I questioned whether spanking was the right course of action when hitting was the problem.
I spank him, but I make it a very coordinated, deliberate event, and I explain to him why it's happening, remind him that he was warned, etc. I also try to keep angry emotion out of my voice (though by the time this is going on I'm usually pretty hot). I think it comes off different than the sudden fits of emotion that cause him to hit. He has gotten to the point where the spank warning stops the behavior most of the time.

Yep.
I would suggest taking away his favorite toy or some other punishment at home when he gets in trouble at daycare.
That is what we do with my 3 year old. Yesterday she bragged that she called another kid a "crybaby". Took away her favorite stuffy last night for that.
Oh...and guest what? 3s are much worse than the 2s

Putting the toy in timeout instead my son is so much worse to him. He freaks TF out when Mickey goes in timeout.

Any advice on what you can do? Anyone go through this with their toddlers?
My oldest went through this but she was on the receiving end. The little shite would bite her. I told her to kick him.
She did and the problem was solved.
Seems to be a phase with kids
terrible two's are nothing compared to the terrible teens

I've had the same thoughts, so we treat it on a case by case basis. If one of the kids shoves/hits another out of anger, we usually put them in timeout. Spankings are reserved for things like not listening or doing something unsafe, and even then, a spanking is not much more than a tap on the rear end that gets their attention. We do what we can to find a punishment to fit the crime, and thus far, timeouts are far more cumbersome to my kids than spankings.

And 4s are worse than 3s, and 5s worse than 4s, etc. None of that matters when you're in the middle of it with a two year old though.

You have to calm down a 2 year old? I think we have found your problem.

how is calming down a 2 year old, which most 2 year olds are known for their tempers, a problem?
